For all of CEC applicants in this forum,

Has anyone removed education on purpose in order to increase the chance of getting accepted into the CEC stream?

I am in a very tricky situation where I need to find every possible way to get myself invited under CEC.

I graduated high school and university all in Canada. I am planning to remove the education, but before I do this, I just wanted to see if anyone has done this way too.

Please let me know!

I didn't actually get an ECA at all as it was not needed. So I simply wrote I have a bachelor's degree and answered no to ECA which produced the same effect as you are looking for. I know several people who did this too. However, this also significantly brings down your points which was not a problem for us because of LMIA jobs.

Without those, not providing enough funds might be a way to be short listed for CEC instead of FSW.

Moreover, from some recent applicants, I have heard that now CIC has fixed their system a bit i.e. if some one qualifies CEC, he would receive preferential CEC invite.

Please note that at no point, we totally left out our education (that might be prone to risk of misrepresentation). There are options to clearly indicate you didn't get any ECA.

Similarly there were other things, e.g. out of Canada experience - which i didn't mention before ITA, but did include in the eApr (actual application) to ensure CIC has the correct info.

Sorry so before the ITA, did you put "NO" for the question below??

Has XXXXXXX finished high school or any higher education (including university, college or vocational training)?

Then, after the invitation, in your application for submission, you answered that question to YES, then provided education proof somehwere?? ???

No if I remember correctly, I answered yes to this question. After that it asks another question. Do you have an ECA or if the education is Canadian (something along the lines) and I answered no, and it serves the purpose.
